    I work with different boards and have certain struggles with STM-based (mine is that one with STM32F411).
    I had tried to control WS2812 using digitalPulse, but the experiment has showed that board doesnt perform pulses with duration around (0.3-1us).
    Neopixel works great but I dont like that on stm boards it implicitly setups hardware spi bus. I'm wondering if using low-level timer control allows me to avoid using hardware spi (like RMT module on ESP32 does). U see that I do not consider SPI as a solution. Perhaps I would do so if it was possible to configure soft bus baudrate.

    Anyway, now it's a question not really about ws2812, but how to make digitalPulse work with impulses I need.

    Board doesn't send pulses with duration less than 1us. As far as I understand that's a deal with prescaling mcu frequency.
    Found ur post with examples of how to access a timer, but I feel like it's only about PWM, therefore not not what I need. Can anyone answer is it even possible to change min pulse duration?

    I wanted to turn wifi off on my board to check out how much memory it would release. Unfortunatly I trap into infinite trying to boot. Firstly I get:

    >ESP32.enableWifi(false)
    Erasing saved code.
    Done!

    I know that re-flashing helps to "fix" the board but I need t0 find a way to turn wifi off.
    I will be much thanksful for your advice.

    @JumJum, hello again. I continued to search for answers, even have found ur 5 year old thread on esp32, where you state that:

    • ESP32.enableBLE(false/true) , adds about 1900 additional JsVars
    • ESP32.enableWifi/false/true) , adds about 3800 additional JsVars

    And I see that lots of people are talking about switching BLE off to get more free memory. But even 2500 jsVars is only ~35Kbytes, meanwhile my board advertises to have around more than 500 KBytes of ram. That's just nonsense!

    Reference page says that "E.getSizeOf() returns the number of variable blocks used by the supplied variable".
    But how should I estimate the real size of entities in my app? For example, E.getSizeOf(Number.MAX_VALUE) returns 1, meanwhile the bocksize is 14 (according to process.memory) and espruino numbers are 64bit. It just makes no sense for me.

    Sorry for asking kind of stupid question, but I really want to figure out how to calculate size of objects as preciese as possible. Thanks for answer in advance!

    Am I correct that exatly support of BLE & Wifi eats most of the memory?
